    Here's why the s21 is a better deal: 1) 90% of ppl put a case on their phones, so it doesn't matter if its glass or plastic 2) I don't think anyone chooses the 60hz 1440p option on the s20 over the 120hz 1080p (including me), so you're gonna end up with the 120hz 1080p option anyways on both phones 3) the amount of curve on the 20's screen is the best, but a flat display would save you money and time that you'll put while looking for a reliable screen protector that actually works (not mentioning if your case is screen protector friendly or not) 4) your s21 will be supported for the next 3 android versions (12, 13, 14), when the s20 will stop at android 13 5) adaptive refresh rate = better battery life 6) you'll own the latest and greatest in reality, the SD card is the only compromise you'll be making

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the S20 come with 1440p 60Hz enabled be default? (since 1440p is the native resolution.) If so, most people will literally use it like that. Only tech enthusiasts that comprehend what 120Hz is will bother going to the settings to manually enable 1080p at 120Hz. Most average users are fine with 1440p at 60Hz aka they don't care.

    It's worth noting that the adaptive refresh rate on the S21 and S21+ is between 48-120 Hz ... so it would slow down to 48 at the lowest. The S21 Ultra can fluctuate between 10-120 Hz.

    S21 is a refined version of s20 with better software and hardware but they dropped some important features from the s20 like the display, sd card support and a plastic body which balanced the value of both phones. So you can go with either of them considering what u really want in ur phone.

    Great comparison- thanks! One other point to add- both phones are very tall and narrow, but I think that the S21 is preferable because of the slightly better aspect ratio (slightly wider than the S20 combined with a flat screen which accentuates this factor a bit).

    I'll agree that the SD card is important to a certain group of users that samsung could lose. As far as the cameras in the s20 and s21, the hardware is the same, but with the newer processor and software improvements, photos are better on the s21. I'm not big into photography, but I believe the video stabilization and night mode have been upgraded. The display is a downgrade, but it's the same resolution you got on the s20 of you used the 12o hz anyway. Honestly, you have to look close to notice the difference. Personall, I'd rather have the improved fingerprint reader, enhanced photography, the adaptive 120 hz, and all three levels of 5g. The s20 didn't receive mm wave 5g.

It's definitely the resolution, PPI, expandable storage & glass (I hate plastic phones) back panel for me. I don't necessarily need the latest Snapdragon, considering the improvements in the newer chip don't outweigh what this newer model (S21) is LACKING- in terms of capabilities.

    Actually, a 1080p display on a 1080p screen looks better than a 1440p screen set to 1080, since 1440 and 1080 don't match up. So if you use 120 Hz on your S20 it would look worse than on your S21. But yeah, in 60 Hz, the S20 looks better, just like you said.

More physical pixels also require slightly more energy to light up. So yeah, idk. I'd rather have normal 1080p than 1440p set to 1080p. I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that it's LCD or AMOLED, but just because that on 6-7 inch screens, 1080p or 1440p almost look the same, so it's hard to tell.

Maybe the S21 Ultra has tangible differences like better screens and cameras (SoC difference is something that you probably can't tell without running benchmarks), but not worth it to me, even though I consider myself I tech enthusiast. Will be waiting for the next Note line up if those still happen or the inevitable S22 line.

    As much as I like the steric look of the S21, I just purchased the S20 3 months ago for $900. I upgraded my S7 edge, which lasted me for over 3 and a half years. I personally do like the water edge for notifications, since I costume the colors for different apps, so the flat screen is a drawback for me. On the other hand, I kinda wish I had waited few months for a newer and prettier model, I would have saved $100, but oh well ...

    In Australia we get the crapsynos 990 chipset in the s20 which is ok if you're not a heavy gamer like me and also the finger print scanner is an optical one. Good for two or three days or so, after that it is almost precisely 100% useless. Manufacturers should stick with an ultrasonic scanner, especially with the "flagships ". I should also mention that I'm using the 4G LTE version.

Without those 3, I'd go buy an IPhone 12 Pro Max as Apple is leading with Video Camera quality. I may buy one anyway to test. As far as Samsung, I actually liked my previous S9+ better than the S20, so as Samsung loses features, they'll be losing customers.
